Tr Trail is an easy out-and-back hike of about 1.7 miles in the Helena Ranger District of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest in Montana. The trail rises about 250 feet from a low point of roughly 4,480 feet to a high point of about 4,740 feet. The Forest Service manages the land. The route is natural-surfaced, and bikes are allowed, so the trail works for both hikers and mountain bikers. It is open year-round. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run to highs around 78°F in July and August with lows in the upper 40s, while winter highs stay near freezing. Evans Trail and Rodney Ridge are both mountain biking options about a third of a mile away. Climbers can find Mount Helena and Sunset Slab about 2 miles off, and MTBcity campground is roughly 3 miles away.
